Skyrim rated Mature in US, has drinking games

AppId is over the quota

Bethesda will taking the Elder Scrolls series to darker places than ever with Skyrim. That is if the US rating board’s Mature certificate is anything to go by (via Eurogamer).

The ESRB’s reasoning for their high rating is quite surprising. Apparently the game has a reference to rape among other things like drinking contests and (less surprisingly) blood and gore. An in-detail description even makes mention of slow motion decapitations.

It’s surprising to see some of that stuff will be covered in Skyrim, but that just makes us more excited to see how Bethesda handle it.

The game launches on PC, PS3 and 360 on November 11.

Nintendo 3DS Expansion Slide Pad Compatible Games List

AppId is over the quota

The 3DS “Expansion Slide Pad” attachment (also known as the Second Circle Pad Add-On) was officially announced and revealed at the Tokyo Game Show 2011 during Nintendo’s pre-TGS ’11 Press Conference where details were posted online.

It will be released in Japan on December 10th, 2011 at a price of ¥1,500 or a full $20 bucks. Originally it was reported that the 3DS Slide Pad Expansion would be bundled with Monster Hunter Tri 3G, which releases day and date with the add-on in Japan, but it’s unclear if that is still the case.

Batteries are included with the Slide Pad which will require one AAA battery to power the device. However the Slide Pad, which features a second Circle Pad and an additional trigger button, will only work if games are specifically built to use it.

Here are the games that will support the “Expansion Slide Pad”:

1. Monster Hunter 3G
2. Resident Evil Revelations
3. Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D
4. Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble
5. Dynasty Warriors VS
6. Kingdom Hearts 3D
7. Monster Hunter 4

Games that support the Slide Pad in Japan will feature a specific logo that shows the 3DS with the Expansion Slide Pad attached.

No word on when the Expansion Slide Pad for 3DS will be released in the West or what the name or price will be.

Here is a trailer for Monster Hunter 4 exclusive to the 3DS.

Past SoulCalibur games prepping for DLC release?

AppId is over the quota

As SoulCalibur V gears up for an early 2012 release, it looks like we could be getting a blast from the series’ past before the latest entry.

Game director Daishi Odashima has suggested as much on his Twitter account (via). A translation on one of his posts reveals that Namco Bandai is “thinking of releasing past SC series as DLC”.

DLC? Could Odashima have really meant standalone HD updates that we’re so used to seeing these days?  We’ll have to wait a bit to find out.
